Maintenance

Screws and nuts

Screws and nuts can become loose over time. Therefore, remember to check and 
if necessary retighten all screws and nuts on a regular basis. A thread-locking 
product, such as Loctite Blue No. 243, may be used. 
If self-locking nuts have been removed they lose some of their locking ability and 
should be replaced.

Driving wheels

The driving wheels are fitted with spokes. These should be checked and adjusted 
at least once a year. Contact a local bicycle dealership or your nearest technical 
aids centre.

Quick-release hub for wheels

The quick-release hub for the driving wheels requires regular inspection. Check 
that the ball bearings are working satisfactorily. The release bolt and ball bearings 
should be cleaned and oiled regularly.
